Fans have been waiting with bated breath for the return of the final episodes of Shadowhunters. Now that the team is back, they are ready to make their mark on television one last time. The episode started off with an amazing fight sequence. It was then filled with emotional tributes to Clary, love, and brotherhood, and ended with, of course, a cliffhanger.

Ah, depositions – the key to any exciting scene, amiright? Yeah, no. I mean, I’m happy to see Foggy (Elden Henson), but no lawyer can keep Luke from being Luke – so when Cockroach starts BS-ing and the big man loses his temper and busts up the conference room table, Foggy 1) asks Luke if he’s ever considered wearing a mask (funny), and 2) tells Luke that he may want to consider a settlement. But where is Luke going to get $100K, the amount necessary to make the whole lawsuit go away?

After calling some of the companies who were previously interested in a Luke Cage endorsement (BEFORE he got his butt whooped by Bushmaster, of course), he realizes that he might need to cash in on some of his superhero fame. Foggy says he has an appearance opportunity for him – it turns out it’s Piranha, Mariah’s money man, who is more than willing to pay big bucks to get Luke to attend one of his parties.

When Preacher opens in black and white, I always get excited – I love the flashbacks because they fill in so many interesting details about our main characters and the events that shaped their lives. In this episode, we see a teenaged Jesse hustling a vice-principal, the latter of whom has realized that his relations with one of his students could derail his career. He wants Gran’ma to cast a spell to make the girl forget about him, and he assures Jesse that he’ll pay up. Fast forward a bit, and the VP is thrilled with the results – but he’s short on his payment. Jesse lets him know that is a BIG problem, but he doesn’t seem to get it, until he is chased by Jody and T.C. in a truck, then beaten and brought to Gran’ma’s house. A machine is wheeled in that will extract the delinquent client’s soul, and Jesse starts to leave the room – but Gran’ma says it’s about time he saw the process. We don’t see it, but we hear it. It sounds like it hurts. A lot.
